Tudor: Victory brings confidence; I was optimistic about Ajiqi &amp half a year ago; I have been training him

Hupu September 14th: Juventus defeated Inter Milan 4-3 at home in the third round of Serie A today. Juventus coach Tudor accepted an interview with broadcaster DAZN after the game and attended a press conference.

This is the first Italian national derby you won, how do you feel?

"I'm very happy. This is a crazy game, very strange and special. Everyone scored a lot of goals, and all kinds of ups and downs. The final result brought great joy because it was a victory against a strong team with extremely high-level players. This game was not easy, but we did a good job. This is the third round, and there are 35 games left in the future."

Tell me about the moment you decided to send Ajiqi. How did you think of sending him on the court?

"Intuition... Actually, we have been working on him for 5-6 months since we came here, because we believe he is a very capable player. We try to change some of his bad habits, and he accepted it very well. Asic has a huge talent. He is in good shape this week. In fact, I already had the idea of ​​letting him play before the game. His shots are very rare and of high quality. He has impact, speed, and humbleness. This goal should be his greater motivation and let him continue to train harder."

Inter Milan plays well, creating a lot of difficulties for you. You sent the right person at a critical moment, and Inter Milan also played a good game.

"I agree. Before the game, everyone will label the game, but in this kind of game, everything is zero. As their coach said, they want to show all their strength, and their strength is indeed very strong and is world-class. We did not do the best in the control and oppression of the game, but even the players who came on the bench showed strong fighting spirit. Does it mean we deserve to win? Perhaps a fairer evaluation is that the game should have been tied, but so is football."

Irdez's performance and his position on the court?

"Today is more like a diamond position. We want to oppress, but we don't do a good job. We retreated too quickly, but the idea is to let him stay in the middle area: such a strong player must be close to the goal. We use the configuration of three forwards, so we must maximize the potential of the lineup. Even if we don't play a great game, it is still important to win."

Why do you retreat so deeply in the game?

"We could have done better. I originally hoped to oppress and control the ball more stably. But some players just finished the national team game and had some physical problems. It is always difficult to be in the best form in the first game after the international game, but we want to win this game, and the players also feel that they are capable of winning the game."

Is it possible to use the trident of Ilditz-David-Opunda?

"We made some ideas before the game. Later, when the score was behind, we wanted to become more aggressive. The substitutes performed well after they came on the court."

What did you say to Ajichi before he scored?

"I said 'I'll shoot as soon as I got the ball', haha, kidding (laughs). He deserves this goal because he has performed very well this week and now he has to keep working hard."

Why choose to start with Vlahovic?

"It is to consider the opponent's characteristics and set pieces, and of course the most important thing is his strength." What is the situation with Kabar?

"He is a very outstanding guy, and we are very happy that he is back. He has extremely strong energy and ability, and can help us now."

Is Juventus a popular championship competition?

"This hasn't changed much for me. There are many different opinions outside, and this is the charm of football."

How much room does this team have for improvement?

"There is always room for improvement. We are a vital team and cannot stay where we are. We are on a good road, and this victory can give us confidence, and two days later the team must prove itself again and continue to do its best."
